Arieh, Ivey and Greenstein assaulted by gunmen

[chalimac]

The club where they were playing in France was assaulted. The shocking bit in the narration is Ivey's reaction:

[ QUOTE ]

In the midst of all the chaos, there is no group of people I would rather be in this situation with than a bunch of poker players. When all the chaos started there had just been a flop in the 800-1600 game that Lindgren, Ivey and Greenstein were playing, so to say the least the robbers interrupted their game. Ivey and the boys have some sort of way of betting on the side if certain hands win each pot. While I was in the fetal position praying for my life, Ivey was under the table calm as can be and, turning to Lindgren and Greenstein said "Boys, I wanna' double up this hand"...... this isnt right, I'm praying for my life, and Ivey is under the table cracking jokes-how cool is he?

A man with true gambool would have been laying odds on how much the gunmen would be able to steal.

Wasn't this place robbed about a year ago too?

[CrazyN8]

no idea but not what I had in mind when I think about Casino security - a place that gets knocked off more than a 7-11.

Iveys from Atlantic City. Anyone who's been there can safely say the odds are good that wasn't the first time he's been around someone brandishing a gun.
